Google seems to be broken, Henry's reply is listed
in the thread index around 804 but the text is not

George has made the claim that when and if a monochromatic light beam
is
amplitude modulated, two side bands will result.

George has provided documents on terabit WDM spectra
that illustrate such sidebands and on components that
the use of sidebands measurements to define performance
so their existence is not in question. Nor is the fact
that channels and sidebands are routinely extracted
from the multi-channel optical signal by gratings and
one of the components mentioned was such a grating
designed specifically for that task in a WDM system.

Irrelevant to the subject.


However, we got there, I have provided the
evidence.


I haven't seen any...


You have. You have seen both the papers mentioning
the sidebands on WDM which are used for measurement
throughout the industry and the video and stills of
single photon detection.

I challenged your claim that you have proof that sidebands produced in
this way
consist of identical photons of the same 'wavelength'.


It wasn't clear which part you were challenging
so I repeated the proof of both.

Whether or not it is true is beside the point.


You chose to challenge it, that was the point.

It makes no difference to my
BaTh photon model nor to BaTh predicted brightness and velocity curves.


It is a source of experimental data which any
viable theory must match. To do that you will
need to have K=1 which affects your ideas
(though not the existing theory because K does
not appear in the equations, only in the hand-
waving).


George, I can't really see the connection between what photons do in
modulated
monochromatic light and in 'bunched' white light.


Each photon has some intrinsic (though frame
dependent) properties such as energy (or
equivalently frequency or wavelength). Whether
it is flying through space with some other
photons nearby each of which has a similar
value of frequency (monochromatic) or whether
its neighbours have a wide spread of values
makes no difference to the individual photon,
it just does its own thing. The behaviour of
monochromatic light can tell you what each does,
and then you just aggregate to understand white
light.
